Is there a Biblical precedent for the Petrine privilege?
score:0
cf. The Petrine Privilege | Marriage, Divorce and The Pauline Privilege, by Randal D. Noller | Catholic Culture
The Pauline Privilege does not apply when a Christian has married a non-Christian. In those cases, a natural marriage exists and can be dissolved for a just cause, but by what is called the Petrine Privilege rather than by the Pauline Privilege. The Petrine Privilege is so-named because it is reserved to the Holy See, so only Rome can grant the Petrine Privilege. The Petrine Privilege is rarely approved. It is the dissolution of a valid, but non-sacramental, natural bond of marriage by the Holy See in certain, specified cases. The determination is based on case-specific facts and circumstances, and is not often used.
A biblical precedent for the Petrine Privilege, where some of the faithful marry unbelievers and then are permitted to divorce them, is found in the book of Ezra where the Jews put away their foreign (pagan) wives.
… We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the people of the land…Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord…
… separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives. [cf. Ezra 10]
The privilege is understood when Israel is seen as the type of the Church.

No.
Petrine privilege and all the customs around it grew out of the practical administration of the sacraments over time. There is nothing in the scripture recognized as the canonized New Testament that speaks directly to any of this. If anything all of this can be said to have grown out of Jesus admonition not to divorce - Matthew 19:1-12.
